LPT: If it's time to break the news to your children about Santa Claus, do it in July on a beach rather than right before or after the holidays. Also, don't wait too long. I still believed until an embarrassingly late age. you all know what I'm talking about. My sons took it a lot better in July.

LPT: Unless you’re amazing at networking and/or want to do sales/entrepreneurship for the rest of your life, “just get a degree” is horrible advice. Avoid “getting a degree” until you know what you want to do. It’s a serious commitment of time and money, and it can pigeonhole you.

LPT: Whenever you see a non-skippable ad, close your eyes and mute your device. From now on, every annoying ad will be a little respite for your eyes and mind.

LPT - If you're making a dish to bring to someone's house for Christmas dinner that needs to be refrigerated, either bring a cooler with you or confirm with the host ahead of time that there will be fridge space. Don't just show up and assume there is room in the fridge

LPT: Don't marry someone until you have seen them in a state of deep upset and/or intoxication. Those two times are often when the worst sides of our personalities come out and how someone acts during those times is a good guide to how they will act/react when your marriage hits a rough patch.

LPT: Facing death increased my appreciation for life. Try hard to step back from your daily routine and appreciate your days without needing to go through a life/death experience. You can use a gratitude journal for this (I survived emergency surgery to remove a large brain tumor)

LPT: Make a “gift list” on your phone starting on January 1st every year. Whenever someone you typically buy gifts for mentions something they want or need, write it down in the gift list. This way you’ll have a list of things to get that person when gift-giving season comes around.

LPT: Before you give your child a unique name, try it out first. Use it on food orders, reservations, appointments where applicable, etc. It’ll give you a glimpse of what they’ll deal with when they’re older and could prevent future issues.

LPT: Be a predictable driver/pedestrian, not a “nice” one. Don’t stop and “wave” people/cars to go if it’s not their turn. People respond impulsively, disregarding other lanes of traffic, causing accidents/serious injuries. Simply follow the rules and everyone gets home safely.
